As Dawo Baba committed seppuku with a knife, his soul transformed into a special energy that broke through the dimensional barriers of the Nine Heavens and returned to the Hunt Clan's plane.
'Bang!'
With the complete loss of his life Source Power and the sacrifice of his soul, Dawo Baba's body fell helplessly from the sky.
Lin Heng stared at the corpse on the ground, a rare look of solemnity appearing between his brows.
To defend their loyalty to the death—regardless of other aspects of the Hunt Clan, this very cohesion is something Lin Heng should deeply consider.
Whether the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens could see this, Lin Heng did not know.
But Lin Heng was able to deduce one thing from Dawo Baba's death.
This race is so loyal to the so-called Hunting Emperor that they are unafraid of death.
This also indirectly shows that if you want to eliminate the Hunt Clan, you can only kill them by attacking their stronghold and killing their Hunting Emperor. Otherwise, even if you kill all the strong members of the Hunt Clan, as long as the Hunting Emperor is still alive, the cohesion of this race will not dissipate, and they will eventually make a comeback.
"Haha! Brother Lin Heng has done a great job this time, we should celebrate properly today."
Lin Heng Lin Heng still thinking when a loud laugh from an Ascenders suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Just as Lin Heng was regaining his composure, he heard Sikong Hong's voice again. " Lin Heng deserves much credit for defeating the Hunt Clan this time; it is indeed worth celebrating."
But after a pause, Sikong Hong looked towards the entrance of the mountain range again. "Before that, there are a few things that need to be taken care of first."
Lin Heng and the others all looked in the direction Sikong Hong was looking.
Over there, the powerful figures from the Eight Great Imperial Clans, led by Yan He, were leisurely making their way over.
The matter on this side was resolved, but the other side was still flying over unhurriedly. Seeing this, the many Ascenders were furious.
"This place isn't far from the camps where their Eight Great Imperial Clans are stationed. We could hear any movement immediately. How come these bastards took so long to show up?"
One of the Ascenders cursed angrily.
Whether it's the Eight Great Imperial Clans or the Ascenders, their camps are not too far from the dimensional portal.
This is also to ensure that if anything happens in the dimensional portal, we can be informed immediately and come to our aid.
Logically, the Eight Great Imperial Clans should have sensed the attack on the cave entrance and come to their aid.
However, from the time the Ascenders launched their first attack until now, the Eight Great Imperial Clans families have had enough time to fly back and forth dozens of times.
If you said there wasn't something fishy going on here, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
With that incident in mind, how could the Ascenders possibly treat them kindly right now?
"Brother Sikong, I heard some commotion over here and immediately gathered men to come. I wonder if the Hunt Clan has appeared?"
As soon as Yan He arrived with his men, he immediately put on a very anxious expression and asked...
But given their snail-like flight speed just now, saying this now would lack credibility.
"Brother Yan He, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Sikong Hong sneered and said nothing more.
Yan He quickly looked around and, seeing no signs of a major battle, became suspicious.
Looking around Sikong Hong, he saw that all the Ascenders were safe and sound, which made him even more puzzled.
"What? Brother Yan He, are you surprised to see that we're still alive?"
Seeing Yan He's eyes darting around and constantly scanning their direction, Sikong Hong immediately asked in a cold voice.
"Hehe!"
Yan He stopped scanning the area and gave an awkward smile, "What do you mean by that, Brother Sikong?"
It wasn't hard to guess that Yan He and the others were involved in this matter based on their actions, but since there was no evidence, Sikong Hong couldn't bring himself to say it.
However, given what happened, Sikong Hong couldn't possibly remain completely silent; otherwise, wouldn't he be emboldening the Eight Great Imperial Clans?
"It's nothing much, just that the Hunt Clan attacked earlier, but we repelled them."
As soon as Sikong Hong finished speaking, the Ascenders immediately began their performance.
"You were nowhere to be seen when we were fighting the Hunt Clan, but you show up right after the fight is over. What? Was this all planned beforehand?"
"Haha! Aren't the Eight Great Imperial Clans the kind of people who fight but never show up, only to come back and claim the credit afterward?"
"If you ask me, if they've been trying for so long and still can't get here, they might as well not come at all. My grandma on her cane could get here faster than you."
"Hey, how could they not come? Otherwise, how could they ever face anyone again claiming to be the true hero protecting the Nine Heavens?"
The Ascenders chimed in with their own words, leaving the members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans blushing with embarrassment.
Unfortunately, the secrets within this dimensional passage were known only to Yan He; the others were unaware. This displeased the other Eight Great Imperial Clans, who all glared at Yan He.
Upon hearing the commotion from the dimensional portal, they immediately wanted to Teleportation to the mountain pass and then fly over quickly.
But Yan He stopped them, insisting on leading them there slowly.
This led to the scene that had previously caught the attention of Sikong Hong and the others.
Now that they're being ridiculed like this by the Ascenders, they can't very well retaliate.
Under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, Yan He could only change the subject to ease the awkwardness.
"Brother Sikong, I only thought the commotion was minor and that it was just some small fry causing trouble, which you could easily handle."
Yan He originally just wanted to relieve some of his stress.
Unexpectedly, these words only caused the Ascenders to make an even bigger commotion.
"Trash? Yan He, since when did you start considering even Dawo Baba as trash?"
Sikong Hong pointed to the lifeless body of Dawo Baba lying on the ground and said.
The members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans immediately looked in the direction Sikong Hong was pointing.
Because they had lost their life energy, they naturally hadn't noticed Dawo Baba's corpse before.
This was quite a surprise; how could the Eight Great Imperial Clans be unfamiliar with this powerful member of the Hunt Clan?
Before the corpse of Dawo Baba, the Eight Great Imperial Clans once again showed expressions of shame.
The Ascenders naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to criticize them slip by.
"Since even Heavenly Firmament Realm is just a minor character in front of Yan He Yan He, I think you should just storm into the Hunt Clan's lair and kill the Hunting Emperor while you're at it. That way, we won't have to continue guarding the dimensional portal and suffering this hardship."
"I think it's feasible. One man, one sword, slaughtering an entire clan—this will definitely become a legendary tale in the Nine Heavens. Yan He, we're all watching you create this legendary tale with your own hands."
After being scolded, Yan He's face turned bright red, and the other members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans were also unable to lift their heads.
In the end, Sikong Hong waved his hand to stop everyone, but at the same time he coldly warned, "I will go to the Lei Clan immediately to report this matter to the sect leaders on my Ascenders side. Yan He, you'd better think about how to explain this to the sect leaders!"
